The Cottage Gillamoor
About Our Cottage
Nestling in the small, moorland village of Gillamoor, meaning 'The opening to the moors' is within the southern boundary, of the North York Moors National Park, this charming end terrace holiday cottage is full of traditional features. The cottage still has the original Yorkshire stone kitchen floor, exposed stonework, original beams in the lounge and master bedroom and stripped pine doors throughout.
